I am so sorry to hear about your friend =( I got water poisoning TWICE and it was from the faucet not from outside =( I didn't know that faucet water was to avoided in certain parts of Jordan so that is how i got it twice... and it is torcher =(
Now i drink bottled water if i am in a new place and am unsure about the water supply just to be on the safe side... people sometimes don't worry about water purity unless it was an issue in the past...
Good post, might save someone a lot of trouble...

I never consume water on the street. I don't even drink water which is not bottled. Health is a valuable asset. Cheers!!

Yes; it is important to take care of the water we drink . In 2001 , I too had got Typhoid and that was perhaps due to bad quality water I had drank somewhere .
So;one has to be very careful .

However; many people in our country have no choice in their source of potable drinking water. They have to drink whatever quality of water is available to them .
They then fall prey to water-borne diseases.

Hey rkrish Obviously it is a matter of great concern for every body. It is very difficult to get pure water. In India we can not expect pure water for consuming as moist of the water is contaminated . However in my house we first boiled the water and then we drink it. I have bitter experience on the subject. Some time ago I travelled in the train and I purchased water in the station in a pouch. I consumed the same and immediate after consuming I felt some uneasy and immediately I vomit the same. One of my friend's daughter suffered diarrhea due to consuming contaminated water. Hence before consuming water while travelling ensure that it is safe and pure water. It will be convenient if you can carry water bottle from your house, which is safe.
